Android Question Store and retrieve a photo

[DoctorGerry]

This has me scratching my head.....(but I tend to do that a lot!!)

My app allows the user to take and store a photo, then displays that photo. When the photo is taken it is saved to File.DirRootExternal. After the photo is taken, it is displayed on an ImageView.

If I run the app on an emulator the photo is displayed correctly on the ImageView, but when I run it on my phone, the ImageView remains blank. I get no errors about file not found or anything.....it just doesn't show. I guess I'm probably doing something really basic (no pun intended!!) wrong, but what?

Are you using the same API on the emulator and your device? 4.4 and above doesn't allow writing of data on the SD card except within the folder assigned to the app.

I would like to make this but send the photo to a remote server and then get it back to the android device.

Should I have to store it inside a MySql db or in a folder in the server ?

Thanks.

As James said, check why it isn't displayed. How do you load it into the IM? There must be a log entry or an exception.

What do you do with it later (except display it)?

Are you talking to me ?
